Beast boy: Dirty dancing.

RavenxBeast boy. After a nasty rain storm, Beast boy decides to have some fun. But little does an unsuspecting empath know that she's involved with it. Beast boy somehow drags her outside into dozens of mud puddles, and forces her to dance...or shift her feet from side to side. But when his clumsiness gets the best of him, the odd couple falls into a rather large puddle. What does Raven think of this, and what opportunity does Beast boy take advantage of?

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The last remaining drops of rain drizzled down from the sky delicately. The morning dew stuck to the blades of grass and the soft petals of a crocus; it's lavender shading growing into the drops. Darkened clouds hovered over the once blue sky. The sun peered it's brilliant rays through a thin, fluffy cloud of gray coloring. Rain drops reflected little portions of light, and began to lighten the rest of the sky. A softened blue covered the clouds; allowing the sun to shine at it's full compassity. A small robin started to sing a melotic tune as a small groundhog came out of hiding in the soil. As it attempted to walk onto the grass, it dipped it's foot into a small mud puddle. The startled groundhog squealed and scurried back into a hole in the ground. And spread across the lawn at Titans Tower, was a LOT of deep mud puddles.

A smug grin revealed a canine tooth on green skin. A pair of forest green eyes twinkled mischievously and a maniac laugh exploded throughout the building. A cloaked head creaked its direction toward him. Piercing violet eyes and a black lip were the only visible facial details underneath the shadow of her hood. Her nose was buried under a book as her eyes peered over to her cackling teammate. His messy green hair bounced up and down with the movement of his head, and his pointed ears wiggled about strangely. The book was tossed onto the couch as the devil crossed her arms.

"What's so funny that it made me put away a book?"

His laughing stopped and he raised an eyebrow oddly. "Its for me to know...and for YOU to never find out...okay you'll find out in a few minutes." Beast boy snorted.

"You're a freak of nature." Raven said bluntly.

"Yeah! Well, you are...you...you're part devil!"

"And you're part nerd." Raven grunted as she buried her face in the book again. Beast boy shook his head and glanced out the window. The morning dew remained on the grass and the wilted flowers were beginning to straighten again. The sunlight appeared to be exhausted. The last rays were fading away into the shadows as the sun began to lower in the sky. Beast boy glanced at his watch. "6: 47". In a few minutes the sun would set until the next longing day, and he'd never gather enough courage again. He'd never make his move in time. And speaking of time, his was almost up.

Beast boy tugged at his collar and turned on his heel to face his weakness...Raven. She paid not attention whatsoever to his nervous emotion, and continued to study her text. He rocked back and forth on the ball of his foot, that is, until he leaned backward too much, and fell down. The empath raised an eyebrow, but still ignored him. He rubbed the back of his head with a stupid expression. Her attitude practically drove him insane. He stood up, brushed himself off, walked toward her, and cleared his throat.

Her face was blank. "I'm not a doctor. Don't bother me."

"Um...I don't need a doctor." he seethed; his anger building up inside of him. "But I was just wondering-"

"Why you're an idiot and why you can't ever find a way to entertain yourself."

"No...but that's a good one! Heh heh heh."

"At least someone is funny here."

Fists formed. "Raven," Beast boy started gently. "Listen, what I was REALLY wondering is if...if...if..."

"Get on with it."

"...if you would like to go dancing!" he finished quickly. He gained an un-easy, pained smile. She lowered her book.

"Excuse me?" she scoffed. "Do I look like Terra to you?"

"Uh...no." he blinked. "But, I would still really like it if you went dancing with me...now...in the back yard...with the sunset...kinda roma-"

Raven narrowed her eyebrows dangerously. "Beast boy, I'm aware that you have little sense, but I think you just lost whatever was left!" she growled. "Asking me to dance is going too far. This is probably some pointless prank that Cyborg will video tape and you idiots will show it to the whole city."

"Its nothing like-"

"I don't want to hear it." Raven breathed. She closed her eyes tightly and put her hands on her head. "Maybe you should ask Starfire to dance."

"I can't." Beast boy sniffed.

"Why not? She likes people...and whatever species you are." She snickered to herself. "So what's the problem?"

"Um...Robin."

"What about him?"

"Starfire."

"What about her?"

"I can't touch her!"

"Why not? He holds her hand all the time."

"Exactly!"

"Right. So why can't you dance with her again?"

"Robin'll kill me."

"So?"

"He'll kill me." Beast boy repeated.

"Big whoop." Raven said lifelessly.

The room was becoming darker, as if the curtains were closing on their own. Beast boy's boyish grin faded like the sunlight. "6:55". Time was running out. In about ten more minutes, the sun would be gone and the day he was finally brave would become lost, and his opportunity would slip out his fingers like a snake. Whether Raven liked it or not, she was going to dance. And he would do anything for it. It was time for him to exhale.

Beast boy plopped himself next to Raven. She still was ignoring him. Her attention seemed to be sucked into that book, and it would return after she finished it. The last 802 pages, that is. Beast boy's heart burned with anticipation. Sure Raven was a fast reader, but there was no way she could finish that many pages in three to ten minutes. He sucked in his breath, reached for the book, slammed it closed, received a mean look from Raven, and began to speak.

Beast boy waved childishly. "Hi."

"WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR!" she screamed. Beast boy inched away from her and hugged himself with one arm. "WELL!"

"Rae, the last thing this is is a prank." Beast boy whispered. "But I really just want to-"

"Leave. Me. Alone."

"Not until you dance with me." Beast boy sing-sang. Raven's temple throbbed insanely hard.

"If I do, will you leave me alone?" she croaked. Beast boy moved closer to her and nodded innocently. The corner of her mouth turned downward. "You're invading my personal space." she snarled. "The limit is three feet or more, Garfield."

"Okay, Rae." he grinned, standing up and offering her his hand. "Hey, that rhymed!"

Raven daintily placed her hand in his gloved one. "Wow. Who knew you actually had some manners." she mused.

"Yeah, yeah. Manners and Goth chicks." Beast boy laughed.

"And now its gone."

"Come on! There's only a few more minutes left!"

"Until what?"

"Till the sunset is gone! We can't dance in the dark, now can we?"

Raven shrugged as Beast boy dragged her out to the outside world. The leftover rain soaked through her shoes, sending a slight chill down her frail ankle. Deep down, she couldn't have felt happier to be with him. As immature, odd, and...green as he was, it only drew her closer to him. And as dark, mysterious, and anti-social as she was, the more he wanted her. They were constantly falling for each other; always catching each other on the way down. It was a strange relationship, but it best thing they ever had. They pretended that there was and never would be anything between them, but it was A. Big. Lie. You can't see the future. You can't decide all of it on your own. As life continues, so does your future. Of course, you can't decide what happens presently either. No matter how much you want to. You can't make someone love you, and they can't do that to you.

Stars were beginning to glitter in the sky pleasantly as the sun's dim light was dying slowly. The moon's eerie glow began to cast over the trees and a owl hooted coldly. A chilly breeze flowed freely; a small taste of it making its way down Raven's bare legs. She tugged her hand away from his with a grunt of pure disappointment.

"Its too cold." she spat. "And there are a ton of mud puddles."

Beast boy reached forward and draped most of her cape over one shoulder; surrounding her entire body in a midnight blue cocoon. "Better now?"

"I can't dance with it though. Oh. That's just too bad. Maybe some other time..." Her voice was dripping with sarcasm like venom. The girl started to turn around hastily. Almost running, really. She couldn't be near him. She could sense the feeling that was running through him, and she couldn't take advantage of it. It would only put them both in danger. Or would it? Maybe not every emotion was dangerous...But she couldn't risk it. One wrong move, and it would sting like pouring salt over a cut. You can always wash it off with water. But it doesn't take all the pain away. He was a naive fourteen-year-old who was unaware of how bitter love can be. Sure he'd dealt with Terra before, but Terra wasn't a demon with un-stable emotions. Raven had felt his crush for the ex-titan, but his feelings for her were so strong that it actually ached inside. She kept asking herself why he would love someone like her. Why she felt the same for him. Why whenever he reached out toward her, she slapped his hand away. And why in the world was she was running away from him?

"Raven! WAIT! What did I say?" his weary voice called to her. "WHERE ARE YOU GOING? ONE DANCE, RAVEN! THAT'S ALL I ASK FOR! ONE STINKIN' DANCE AND YOU GO ALL CRAZY ON ME! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!"

She stopped running and turned to face him. "I can sense it, Beast boy." she replied curtly. "That's what." She paused. "But I'm not going to run anymore,"

"Why did you run in the first place?" he panted.

"Because..." Raven searched for a reason. "Because this place is better." she lied. "There's...less...puddles?"

"Oh." Beast boy blinked. "Good choice!" he chimed as he grabbed her hand again.

"7:07".

It really wasn't fair to lead him on, but it still wasn't fair to throw his heart onto the floor and let him pick up the pieces either. So in the end, she decided that if he only desired one simple dance, one dance was what he was going to get. Nothing more. Nothing less. They spun around slowly and swiftly, Beast boy pulling her a little closer every now and then. She gained a disoriented expression, filled with nervousness, disgustment, and unfamiliar confusion. Raven couldn't decide if she liked being closer to him or if she wanted to push him into the mud and scream. She thought perhaps that she was the happiest she'd ever been just having him in her light embrace, meeting his eyes every now and then. But meeting his eyes was far too dangerous. He'd always seem to move his face closer to her's...and it wasn't safe. He was flirting with fire. And he could get burned if he didn't stay far enough away. But it seemed that at this point, that he didn't care about getting burned. All he wanted was to take his opportunity before the next few minutes were over. If he waited too much longer, his chance would be lost like the time, and time can't turn back. If it could, most mistakes would never had been made.

"7:10".

The last ray of light was flickering helplessly as hoots of owls were multiplying. A few shadows of bats twirling around the sky spread across to the damp ground. Beast boy began to spin at a very fast pace...in the dark...where there are a bunch of slippery puddles...not the brightest idea in the world. One last crow's cry was drowned out by the crazed holler of a empath.

"BEAST BOY!"

There laying hopelessly in the middle of a giant mud puddle was Raven and Beast boy. She was laying on top of him with a threatening scowl planted on her lips. Although, Beast boy seemed quite amused. His face had a smug grin and eyebrows furrowed amusingly. Raven grit her teeth.

"YOU IDIOT!" she blasted. "NOW I'M COVERED IN MUD AND ON TOP OF YOU OF ALL-" Raven was cut off as Beast boy placed a devilish kiss on her lips. It was timid at first, testing to see what his consequences would be. Raven twitched an eyebrow as he laid a hand on her shoulder. She grimaced as much as she could while still being lip-locked with her dance partner. But something inside of her kept saying "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!", while her mouth kept wanting to spit the Beast boy taste out. But as the kiss gradually deepened, she knew that kissing Beast boy was way out of character for her. "Beast boy!" she screamed as she pushed him out from under her. She stood up, fuming. Raven pointed her index finger in his blushing face. "Don't. You. Ever. Do. That. Again. Of all the disgusting, pitiful, nauseating things I've ever experienced, yours had to be the worst! You are the most stupid...thing on the whole planet! I could use a whole bottle of mouthwash and still not get the Garfield garbage out of my mouth!"

"It was just a kiss, Raven!" Beast boy protested boldly. "Jeez!"

"Yeah, but it was a kiss from you! That has to be the worst kind!" yelled Raven franticly. "Next time give me some warning! Then maybe I can find a good place to hide before you make another stupid mistake like that!"

Beast boy waggled his eyebrows. "Hehe...next time, huh?"

"Not a chance!" she winced. A large blush traced her cheeks. "I wouldn't kiss you again if you paid me."

"What if I gave you..." Beast boy dug through his pocket. "What if I give you a penny, a piece of string attached to a paper clip, some glitter, and a sticker with a car on it?"

Raven headed toward the tower feeling a mix of happiness, hatred, and a desire to repeat what just happened. "Beast boy, maybe some day you'll understand what I mean when I say that you're disgusting." she said bluntly over her shoulder before disappearing into the building.

Beast boy scratched his head. "I will never get demons. What does she mean by--...heh heh heh heh heh heh heh. She digs me..." Beast boy followed Raven inside with a chuckle. He brushed some of the mud off his leg. "I guess this is what you call 'dirty dancing'."

Author's note: I'm perfectly aware that this a short chapter. But, hey, I tried. I know a bunch of you people requested BBxRae, so here you are! Happy...whatever today is! Kinda a odd and OOC chapter, but BBxRae is really hard to write, for me anyway. Hope you enjoyed it though and please send reviews that are flame free! Thanks!

And no, I don't know why I keep writing stories that have to do with rain and dancing. I'm probably not going to be updating for a little while. But keep watch anywhoo!
